2015 Peugeot Partner 1.6L Diesel · SF65 FCN

The 2015 Peugeot Partner has maintained a clean MOT history since its most recent test on 21 January 2026, with no defects recorded at 159,369 miles. This suggests the vehicle has passed all mandatory checks for brakes, suspension, steering, lights, and emissions without fail. The consistency across four consecutive tests—including a failed but immediately retested pass in January 2024—indicates no recurring mechanical issues that would warrant concern. However, the most recent test occurred just six months ago, which is acceptable but not ideal for a vehicle with this mileage; a pre-purchase inspection remains essential to verify current condition beyond the MOT’s scope. The recorded mileage of 159,369 miles over 11 years equates to approximately 14,500 miles annually, a rate significantly higher than average for a vehicle of this age. The gap between tests is uniform, with roughly 3,700–4,000 miles accumulated between each MOT, suggesting either consistent light-to-moderate use or regular servicing to maintain reliability. Notably, the January 2024 failure at 151,182 miles was resolved promptly, implying the test centre’s issues were administrative rather than indicative of deeper mechanical problems. Still, the rapid mileage accumulation raises expectations for wear on high-usage components like tyres, brakes, and suspension. Given the lack of recorded defects, the primary focus for a buyer should be the suspension system—particularly the rear bushes and coil springs—due to the vehicle’s age and mileage. The brakes, while MOT-cleared, should be inspected for uneven wear or binding calipers, especially if the vehicle has been driven hard. Corrosion around wheel arches, sills, and the subframe is another critical area; the MOT does not test for hidden structural rust, so a thorough underbody check is advisable. Finally, the exhaust system and emissions should be examined for leaks or excessive smoke, as these can develop between tests despite passing the MOT. A pre-purchase inspection will confirm whether the vehicle’s maintenance has kept pace with its usage.
